How to Reduce Penile Plaque

Plaque is never a good thing, especially when it’s preceded by
the word…Penile.

Penile plaque, for those who don’t know, is when plaque builds up in and around the blood vessels to your penis, causing them to narrow.

This blocks the passage of blood into your penis, making it more difficult for you to get hard.

Less blood flow = softer erections.

It should be clear that this is NOT Penile Curvature, or Peyronie’s Disease. That’s’ when scar tissue builds up which can also cause erection difficulties.

Fortunately, penile plaque can actually be fixed.

In many cases, it’s relatively easy to cure or reverse

The cures for penile plaque buildup have a number of auxiliary health benefits

The treatment is straightforward and relatively easy

Here are 5 ways that you can reduce the penile plaque you have, or help prevent yourself from developing it in the first place.

1. Lose 12 Pounds (or more) to Reduce Penile Plaque

We all know on some level that being overweight is bad for your health, and I think we all also know that it’s bad for your sex life (even if you don’t want to admit it).

However, because your cardiovascular health and your body’s ability to pump enough blood into your penis to get hard are one and the same, the link between being overweight and ED is stronger than you think.

Basically, being overweight taxes your cardio in a big way. And the weaker your cardio, whether it’s due to plaque-filled arteries or just a weaker heart, the worse your erections are going to be.

And this isn’t just a hunch – scientists have confirmed multiple times that obesity and thickening arterial walls have a causal relationship.

The good news, though, is that a study completed in 2011 found that losing weight doesn’t just stop arteries from clogging – it can actually reverse the problem.

The study, completed by Israel scientists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and published in Circulation in 2011, looked at the relationship and found that losing at least 12 pounds reduced artery issues caused by atherosclerosis by 5% (source).

The researchers looked at 140 people, aged 40-65 who were both overweight and had heart disease or type 2 diabetes. They were randomly assigned different diets and told to go on their way.

Two years later, researchers checked in to see how the participants were holding up and what was going on in their arteries.

They found that losing 12 pounds reduced the arterial thickness and lowered blood pressure. However, losing less didn’t really have that much of an impact.

It seems there’s some critical 12-pound threshold that people need to cross to really start to see results.

Conclusion? Losing weight is a good way to improve your cardiovascular health in general and will actually reverse any penile plaque that you’ve built up in your system.

How you lose it is up to you, but it’s worth mentioning that the researchers did note that fad diets delivered poor results.

The key is working out a system that actually works for you, not just doing everything you can to lose weight as quickly as possible.

2. Drink Pomegranate Juice to Reduce Penile Plaque

It’s packed with good stuff and can do things like reduce oxidative stress, clear up free radicals, prevent cancer and Alzheimer’s and even improve arthritis symptoms.

In addition to all that, it can help you with your cardiovascular health and reduce and reverse penile plaque buildup in the process.

For starters, pomegranate has been found to prevent plaque from forming in the first place.

Nitric Oxide (NO) is produced in the endothelial cells of your arteries and blood vessels. It’s a key ingredient to getting a good erection as well as having a healthy heart because it’s relaxant.

It’s what causes your arteries and your penis to relax…

In the former, this allows blood to flow better and in the latter, it means that blood can get in and get trapped much more effectively.

A study published in 2006 in Nitric Oxide: Biology and Chemistry found that pomegranate juice will actually support the production of nitric oxide.

The researchers looked at the impact of pomegranate juice on the production of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (NOSIII). NOSIII production is critical to the production of NO.

Unfortunately, high levels of low-density lipoprotein, or LDL (the so-called bad cholesterol) inhibit the production of NOSIII, which inhibits the production of NO, which causes the arterial walls to harden, which makes plaque buildup much more likely (source).

It’s a little like when you’re cleaning your sink…

The parts of the sink that has water flowing in it every day are free and clear. But the corners, where water tends not to reach is where soap scum will build up.

Your arteries are the same way. When they’re full of NO, they’re like the parts of the sink where water goes – always moving, so nothing can get a grip.

But as LDL inhibits NOSIII and thus NO levels drop, the walls stay still.

Now it’s like the corners of your sink, where the water isn’t running, plague begins to build up and your arteries get blocked.

Arterial calcification is the result of tiny pieces of calcium clinging onto arterial walls and slowly building up, like tiny stalactites and stalagmites.

Researchers in Boston in 2014 found that even small doses of magnesium daily were enough to cut calcification by up to 25% (source).

4. Take Vitamin K2 to Reduce Penile Plaque

The next supplement on our list is K2. Vitamin K2 is like a great supporting actor….

It helps keep other systems in your body running smoothly, particularly the relationship your system has with vitamin D and calcium.

You see, these vitamins along with calcium work in concert together.

Calcium just gets in the way unless its put in the right place, like your bones or teeth.

Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption, but doesn’t tell calcium where to go. So if you take calcium and vitamin D, then you’ve got more calcium to deal with and a greater capacity to absorb it.

Which means that mistakes can happen.

Calcium ends up deposited in all sorts of places it’s not supposed to be, like along your artery walls and the lining of your penis.

And this is where vitamin K2 comes in…

While calcium makes your bones stronger and vitamin D will help the calcium be absorbed, vitamin K2 tells your body where the calcium is needed most.

Its like the guide dog for calcium formations – it gets it where it needs to go.

What’s more, vitamin D and vitamin K2 actually work together to protect your arteries and other soft tissues from calcification. They help produce Matrix GLA Protein (MGP), a protein that stops the process of arterial calcification.

So essentially, by taking vitamin K2, you make it much more difficult for calcification of your arteries to happen.

Not only is there less calcium floating around, but the calcium that IS floating around will be much less likely to be deposited in the arteries leading to your penis.

5. Do the Linus Pauling Protocol to Reduce Penile Plaque

You might not have heard of him, but Linus Pauling is a big deal.

He’s the only scientist to ever be awarded two unshared Nobel prizes and is one of only four people to have won more than once.

He published over a thousand papers and books in his career and helped found molecular biology.

Towards the end of his life, he started working on the role of vitamins in cardiovascular health and before he died in 1994, he developed the Linus Pauling Protocol.

The Linus Pauling Protocol is a system used to fight heart disease, but it can be easily adapted to specifically help promote erectile health and reduce arterial hardening.

It works like this…

Basically, you take vitamin C and two amino acids, L-Lysine and L-Proline, and that’s it.

The science behind this is pretty nifty.

Collagen is the primary building material of your body. If your body was a skyscraper, the steel frame would be your skeleton and collagen would be the concrete. That’s a little exaggerated, but not much.
